Hawaii offers scholarship to an 11-year-old 5th grader

The world of college football recruiting has become completely insane, but every now and then one piece of news stands out above the rest. Today is one of those days as 11-year-old Hawaii native Titan Lacaden announced on Twitter that Hawaii has offered him a scholarship, one-upping Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin, who offered a scholarship to a sixth grader last week.

Lacaden is only in fifth grade, which means he’ll be in the Class of 2024. Even though he’s still several years away from signing a Letter of Intent, he’s already got a Hudl profile that lists him as a QB/FS and has plenty of highlight reels.

"I sent a text to each player individually to present an opportunity for open communication with me. Many members of our team chose to respond and have more in-depth conversations about issues and feelings. Marvin is right. It was a mistake to use the word 'every.' Particularly at this time, words are important, and I'm sorry."
